(tired and fed up like this has happened before)You said 10,000, Crystal. This is your worst payment yet! This is 20 percent of what you owe me! No, you know what? Keep your damn money. We're done! I’d say it was a pleasure, but...it wasn’t.
(during a shootout) The crystal orb’s out in the open! I’m gonna grab it! I’m closest to it! Cooper, cover me!
Reese is nice and encouraging to everyone. But because of this, it's hard tot tell when she actually means it.

Hey, don’t be mean to him! (to Mike) She’s like that with everyone, don’t worry. I’m Reese!
No Mike, it’s too dangerous, you could get hurt!
What you did was really brave...but also really stupid. Please don’t do it again!
James is the leader of the group. He likes to go out drinking often and doesn't really take his job seriously.
(very drunk) And so then I- I just-turns out the main guy was dead the whole time! What a twist, am I- am I right?
You’re crazy rookie! I like crazy! Go!
Robin, stop! It was my decision. If you want to take your anger out on anyone, take it out on me. Look, we all knew what we were getting into when we signed up for this job. But the fact is that we got the crystal orb, and I'm okay.

(unconfidently) Uh, James? I, I think maybe you’ve had enough.
Don’t mind her. She’s just too stubborn to give you the win! (gets hit over the head) OW! What? It’s true! (Gets hit again) OW! Stop hitting my head!
An expensive artefact? Just, in a temple? Is it protected by anything?

Mind your own damn business, rookie! This doesn’t concern you!
He’ll be fine. The wound’s not fatal. (Yelling angrily) Still, what in the hell were you thinking?? Because of YOU, James could’ve died! Do you have any idea what you’ve- (gets interrupted)
Don’t get too comfortable, rookie!

Ugh, of course it is. Anyway, I have a job for you guys. It’s to find and bring back an artefact called the crystal orb. It’s on a planet called Shardith in an ancient temple in Wavery Forest.
A glass box, but now that it’s been a thousand years, it shouldn’t be anything your blaster can’t break through. I’ll send you the coordinates, and you'll each receive a payment of 15,000 krotons.
Ok, he’s out of it. Is there anyone there who’s sober enough to listen to what I have to say?

You WHAT? Mike, what are you gonna do when Tom comes knocking at your door asking for rent? Huh? You’re already 3 weeks behind!
I was. Did it for a long time too, and that’s why I need you to listen to me. Bounty hunting’s a tough gig. You have to scrape together whatever money you can!
So, I take it that you’re gonna keep being a bounty hunter, huh? Well then, don’t let me stop you.

There you go kid. 2,000 Krotons.
Gosh Mike, are we gonna do this again?
Yeah, and you’re lucky it’s not lower! Look, demand’s gone down for Carlo Sanchez, that’s just how the business works. I don’t know how many times I have to tell you this for it to sink into your thick head!

Mike, uh, aren’t you a little short on cash at the moment? I mean, I don’t mean to pry, it’s just-
(sadly) Right. (trying to act friendly) You got it chief.

No Mike, I don’t wanna here it. Look, I’m not tryin’ to be a jerk here, ok? But I have given you time to get the money together, so do you have it or not?
STOP! Just stop. You are 3 weeks behind on the rent. If you don’t have the money by next week, you’re getting evicted. Those are the rules
